You're pretty much the only person in the world who has the balls say that.

What level are you? If you're at the beginning, of course you don't like it. But when you get to free-roam, then it's a master-piece.

Speaking of games, the ones I got from 25 Dec. to 28 Dec. all have me hooked. Especially Killzone, Uncharted, The Orange Box, Mario Galaxy (not metal, but it's fun), Resi: Umbrella Chronicals, and R&C: ToD.

Woot. Insomnium would be my favorite Melodic Death band, but Daylight Dies is just that much better. I love them both though.

First day of school. Pretty unmetal.

However, I found a lil known fact about a lizard I had o render for a class last semester. It's all thorny looking and shoots blood from its eyes as a defense mechanism.
Now art can be metal too.

I WONDER WHERE YOU LEARNED THAT

Also Reign in Blood was wikipedia's featured article for a day last week. I laughed.

New sig, self-parody.

I've gotten yet even more albums:

Conception - Flow

Raventhrone - Malice in Wonderland

Raventhrone - Endless Conflict Theorem

Peccatum - Lost in Reverie

Peccatum - the Moribund People

Please tell me how it is once you've listened to it. I've been wanting to check it out for a while now.

No new acquisitions for me lately. I feel like shit right now and I don't know what to do about it.

I'll check that out, but I'm currently at work, so I can't do more than regular surfing when no one's watching.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Batman!

El wootage. Shalashaska's metal level went up by plus 1!!!

Just recently got my hands on Machine Head's The Blackening after many months of financial meltdown. Me loves the album, just as much if not more than Through The Ashes of Empires. Burn My Eyes play-fest coming soon too, mwahahaha!

As a side note, rolled up cigarettes feel so much more the metalhead's cigarette than the standard fag {UK talk for smokes before you confuse it with faggot!} Dunno why I thought of it, but most of my smoking metalhead friends preffer to roll their own than to buy commercially rolled ciggies. Please, feel free to discuss but don't make a big issue of a subject I literally thought of while typing, lol.

Anywho, how are things in MH today?

Some acquisitions over the day.
Not metal, but! Just want to know your opinions are on them
:wumpscut: - Cannibal Anthem
:wumpscut: - Body Census

Metal:
Cannibal Corpse - Kill
Cannibal Corpse - Vile
Seth - Divine-X

But what I meant was it doesn't bring that much new material to the Melodeath table.

When I saw them live last year, that album was performed absolutely perfectly.

I saw Machine Head at the Astoria on the last day of the Black Crusade's UK tour. It was more brutal than the saturday's night, according to the bands and those who had been there both days of the weekend. Machine Head really ripped through all of the songs, some from Burn My Eyes, some from TTAOE and some from the Blackening. All were played brilliantly, and they commanded the stage that night. Everyone was there just for Machine head, including me, so the other bands were kinda ignored mostly.

I loved that night, but still I liked how Arch Enemy and Dragonforce performed. Trivium had no hope in hell, they were the last band before Machine head, all the fans were impatiently waiting and they played like shit anyways.

It's basically a bunch of fuckers in corpse paint whining about how much they love bumming Satan and how dumb Christians are. Then about how they burned down a church that was built for worshipping the Norse Gods because they are too retarded to read, let alone look up the history of a particular line of Churches.

In fact, reading over that last paragraph, it appears that Black Metal is a satanic equivilant of rap, only with less musical skill required. And for the minority of Black Metal bands that have musical skill? I could care less. As it appears to be comparable in size to Scientologists with an IQ above 50.

Oh. Your. Gay. Christian. God. Youtube will help me to get raw on your arse.

You think black metal requires less musical skill that rap music? Alright, here's a nice true norwegian black metal song here. I don't give a fuck if you don't like it, just listen to atleast half of it.

Gorgoroth - Crushing the Scepter (Regaining a Lost Dominion)

Now.

Bbeat your cock to their IMMENSE talent.

Oh yeah, by an OFF chance that Gorgoroth are just one of the few black metal bands that are skilled... Fuck you, because I cannot think of a way to prove otherwise to you, you fucking celtic christian cocksucker. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk i'm so tired....... Hey guys listen up to this shit.

Last night me and my crew bro, we waz goin pickin up dem dumperz brooo, we roll sum fatties rite, we start cruisin back bout 3, wen we see some darkies beaten the cunt out of a telephone box.

Well now, of course me and my good fellows decided to help them out. Of course, it was a loud job, and soon enough those FUCKING pigs found us.

HOW FAST DID WE RUN CUZZZZZZZZZZZZ

And we got away too. It's such a fucking thrill, suddenly these bright as fuck headlights just go BLAM on ya, then the black fellas just yell out "It's the manarj bro run!"

Their vocals make me lul immensely. Music was really good guitar wise and stuff. Vocals = fail hahaha.

Except for incipit satan which vocals were pretty good for BM.

Alright, I went a little to far with the rap thing.
And that Gorgoroth song wasn't that good. I expected technicality and I got sub-par vocals, well-played but boring guitars, and blast beat after blast beat.

And as for everyone who takes the piss out of me for being a Celt;

You tell me that having a 6 foot long spear knock you off a raft, into the water, tearing it out of your body and throwing it back at the Greek who threw it and successfully hitting him isn't metal.

Although I am Celtic by blood myself, having both Welsh and Scottish in my veins, I'm going to happily sit on the fence for this one.

That actually is pretty metal.

Except a viking would've made the spear into an axe before he threw it then as he threw the axe at the greek it would've chopped off the head of twenty bystanders then the viking would do this all whilst drinking.

I can't remember its exact name.

But it was a battle between the Celts (It's a 0% chance these were British Celts, however) and the Greeks. The Greeks made a hit and run attack on the Celts with a small fleet of ships, but the Celts pursued them and threw spears and rocks. To stop the Celts pursuing them, the Greeks knocked down a bridge. But the Celts, being clever, went around the bridge and used their shields as rafts.

The Greeks won, however.

More information when I get home, do my homework, and look for my Cut Throat Celts book.

GOTHCLAWZ is the biggest faggot I have ever seen on the net.

I have been listening Anaal Nathrakh and some metal I haven't heard of before on Bruce's radio.
Lol anaal, that still bothers the shit out of me. I will be getting the bands albums sometime today.

I have also heard every song on Perdition City about 60 times each. If you haven't heard Perdition City, you should listen to it and realize that life was so much less fulfilling without it.

Agreed. Add to the list of "Albums you must listen to to make your life complete" Akercocke's Choronzon if you are of British Nationality. Anyone else can make this an option, but Brits should make it compulsary listening just because of how good a British BM/DM record it is :D

I have no Cd-4 receptor, so I must be. I don't have the receptor that gets AIDS.

But seriously, anyone who doesn't like that album or at least appreciate it is...well...musically void?

The AIDs refferance in your post made me lol.

But anywho, just out of sheer boredom, anyone interested in posting a list of metal albums all members of MH should listen to atleast once in their lives? Not neccisarily the 'best albums evaaa!!!!111one" but basically albums that give the best taste/introduction for the various genres of metal.

I'd say that's one of Ulver's best along with a Quick Fix of Melancholy and Blood Inside.
